Earlier
this month, the FCC received comments in response to its Notice of Inquiry
seeking information about the state of enterprise communication system (ECS)
equipment. The Commission is considering whether to extend E-911 obligations to
ECS equipment, including requiring ECS equipment to route 911 calls to the
nearest public safety answering point (PSAP) and providing the PSAP with number
and location information of the caller. Public safety entities tend to support
requiring ECS equipment – which tends to be deployed by large businesses,
hotels and universities – to provide callers with the ability to directly dial
911. ECS equipment companies and other companies urged the Commission to allow
the marketplace to dictate ECS functionality. Reply comments are due by
December 15th. Please contact Wes Wright (202.434.4239; [email protected]) with
questions.
